Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the so far little known episodes of the participation of the Catholic clergy in the anti-Bolshevik movement in Belarus. Based on investigative files against representatives of the Catholic clergy at the turn of the 1920s and 1930s, the author shows the participation of priests in Minsk and other cities in resisting the Soviet authorities and their anti-religious policy, including the confiscation of church property under the guise of fighting hunger in Russia.
